Chapter 234: The Wheel of Fate
There was no panic in the restaurant because no one expected that warships would defect. They only thought that this was an illegal operation of the crew of the "Natural Selection".
It was only a dozen minutes later that the top leaders of the Asian fleet confirmed an incredible fact: The Natural Selection defected.
So the fleet commander immediately held an emergency meeting. Jiang Yu walked into the conference room while drinking the soup from the squeeze bag.
Although the fleet commander did not invite him to attend the emergency meeting, no one would stop him from listening.
The fleet commander quickly issued an order to pursue the "Natural Selection". This pursuit was a joint operation of four major fleets, a total of six warships.
Just as everyone was leaving the meeting, Jiang Yu suddenly said: "What I want to remind everyone is that the 'Natural Selection' has just been filled with fuel, so the chasing fleet must also be filled with fuel and prepare another spare part."
The deputy commander of the fleet responsible for foreign affairs, said, "Isn't this the trouble you have caused us?"
If the fuel is not filled, the "Natural Selection" can accelerate to at most one percent of the speed of light. Now, they can easily accelerate to five percent of the speed of light!
If the loss is not counted, it is not impossible to accelerate to 15% of the speed of light.
No matter how much you complain, you must fill up the fuel of the warships responsible for pursuing, and the Asian fleet must also send a supply ship to be incorporated into the pursuing fleet.
In space warfare, only if the pursuer's fuel is much higher than that of deserters, can this pursuit be won!
Several senior executives of the fleet left the conference room one after another, but Jiang Yu and the fleet commander sat in their seats in a tacit understanding and did not move.
The fleet commander looked young, and the face of the Orient was illuminated by the light from the epaulette and the hat badge.
He looked at Jiang Yu: "You know in advance whether Zhang Beihai's defection plan is right?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "How could I know?"
"Then why do you want to add fuel to Zhang Beihai? And give him extra spare parts?" The fleet commander said angrily:
"This is your operation to split the Asian fleet, right? Do you think that driving a warship to the periphery of the solar system can develop your new power, right?"
Jiang Yu shook his head: "You think of me too shallowly, and you will soon know the intention of doing this."
"Your plan is destined to end in failure!" The fleet commander stood up and said, "At most we can catch up with the 'Natural Selection' in Kuiper's belt!
"I will take this matter to the Sun International Federation and ask what the solar system federal purpose is!"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Go!"
Anyway, Gu Cheng is the current solar system country, so let him have a headache.
The fleet commander left quickly with a cold face, but Jiang Yu leisurely floated back to the room he arranged for him.
As he expected, sentries followed Jiang Yu immediately, and sentries began to stand guard at the door of his residence.
The Asian fleet did not immediately expel Jiang Yu, who helped the defection, and had already left a last bit of affection for him.
Not long after Jiang Yu returned to the room, Gu Cheng sent Jiang Yu an invitation to call him for a video call.
Gu Cheng was angry and scolded Jiang Yu for his actions in the Asian fleet, which put the Solar Federation in a very passive situation.
Even the initiative to intercept the "water droplet" action that was finally obtained has been affected.
Jiang Yu put the laptop aside and yawned when he heard it.
When Gu Cheng was tired of scolding, Jiang Yu said, "You should concentrate on preparing for the fleet to set off!"
After saying that, I hung up the phone, and it is useless to say more now.
In the following days, Jiang Yu did not go out. He discussed the next personnel transfer and final preparations with No. 3 at his residence.
The Asian fleet ignored him, as if he had left the fortress as the "Commander-in-Chief".
Until Ding Yi came to the door.
Jiang Yu looked at Ding Yi, who was snow-white and very old, but was energetic, and his tears almost flowed out:
"I also specifically reminded those bastards to notify me immediately after you come, but they didn't expect that they would take my words as if they were indifferent."
Ding Yi smiled heartily and said, "As soon as I arrived at the fortress, I heard about your glorious deeds. Now the officers and soldiers of the Asian fleet are looking forward to you leaving early."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "A bunch of little kids, don't worry about them."
"Oh, by the way, I specially brought you a gift from the Mobei Farm on Earth."
As he spoke, he took out an iron box from his suitcase: "Where is your pipe?"
Ding Yi already knew what Jiang Yu was going to give him, so he took out his pipe: "The tobacco from Mobei Farm is not cheap."
As a well-known professor, he could only buy a box of soot occasionally. When he set off from Earth, he bought a box, but he had already finished soot on the way.
During this period, Ding Yi would take out his pipe and rub it, or ask the smell of e-liquid in the pipe, which would be a relief from smoking.
Ding Yi filled his pipe slowly. When he smoked a cigarette butt on Jupiter, he also needed a special cigarette cover to cover the tobacco wires so that he would not float everywhere.
After litting the tobacco, Ding Yi took a beautiful breath: "In a good bullshit era, I can't even smoke cigarettes!"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "The naughty kids nowadays don't recognize your words. They will talk to you about how good modern welfare is!"
Ding Yi silently took another sip of cigarette: "Influenced by you, I have read many sociology books, which have brought me many new ideas."
Jiang Yu made the listening pretense.
Ding Yi said: "The reason why modern society looks so glamorous is all because of the benefits generated by efficient agriculture and industry!
"The foundations of agriculture and industry are inseparable from the technology of various disciplines. How far can the technology in various aspects go is directly related to basic theories.
"After the success of controlled nuclear fusion technology, I have been engaged in basic theory research.
"Unfortunately, we quickly encountered the ceiling given by Tomoko, and I had no choice but to hibernate.
"When I wake up, I find that the new breakthroughs that everyone praised are just extensions of the theoretical knowledge back then. As long as Zhiko is there, we will not have any new theories."
He pointed to his white hair: "Now my hair is white, and I haven't waited for new progress in humanity.
"Soon there will be insufficient reserves in theory, technology will stop improving immediately, and the social dividends brought by relying on technology will gradually disappear.
"What should people do then?"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it good for you to study physics well? Why do you steal my job?"
He paused and said, "Being able to have such an understanding means that you have already achieved high level of attainment in sociology."
Ding Yi waved his hand: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Now many children, even some scholars, claim that today's human technology is the ceiling in the universe.
"Let's just ignore where the ceiling of the basic theory is? What should humans do when we touch the ceiling?
“What should we do if our race stops progressing?
"Human greed will not stop, but what should we do when material living standards stagnate, or a small regression occurs and we can no longer satisfy human greed?"
